I recall a while back one of the more active posters on this board(don't remember who exactly) saying that they did indeed snag fish(reds I believe) on a river in Alaska.
They said that it was fine to do it up there because it's legal on that particular river and it doesn't hurt the population.
But they condemned anyone who did it down here because it is immoral and unethical.
My point is since when do laws have anything to do with morals and ethics???
I never could figure that one out.
